Bluntly, they do not properly cover risk profiles – or explain the real meaning of risk as being short term. I can guarantee you that in every decade, there will be a period in which nothing looks like it will make money, and clients need to understand that the market is not a short term investment. There is nothing in KYCs that cover this type of discussion – or make it mandatory – which means that the clients are still not educated by their financial advisors. XXXX
